Screen Protectors

Has anyone found somewhere with screen protectors for the Ameo (that will have stock before 15th April)?
My Ameo is getting delivered tomorrow, and I'm thinking that if I wait till 15th April, my screen will be scratched to bits by then. All the screen protector will get to do will be to neatly seal and preserve the scratches! ;-)

HI,
My T-mobile Ameo(The Netherlands) was delivered with a screenprotector
But the quality isn't as good as the UltraClears from Brando. But it's something. I will replace it when Brando has them for the Ameo.

be careful of the original screen protector, when you remove it, it might leaves a mask on the screen !! one of my friend used the original screen protector, and when he removed it, the screen surface got "lift up", so the surface is no longer flat!!! he has to send back and get a exchange at the end.
I am also looking for screen protector, i have contact Martin Field, and they say they will release one soon when they get the screen measurement.

there is a better choise i beleve, which is full body shield

Now this I like the look of. Durability! But how is the quality of the actual Screen protector? Is it like Boxwaves Clearview or 99% Anti-reflection...bla bla bla?
This is important as I don't want to loose the sharpness of the display or much of the touch sensitivity of the screen.

@wu5262:
Thanks for the warning(and all your other comments in the Athena section. I read them (almost) all).
I will be very carefull when peeling the screen protector off. And will order another one as soon as possible.
@lawbet7eb:
Thanks for the tip; Did you trey those yourself already? I Like to know how good they are on the screen. And if they give the same clearness as the Brando UltraClears or Boxwaves screen protectors.

I just oredered one, so I will test it and share the results with you guys!
@ dpbakker: Ik verwacht de protectie as vrijdag binnen te hebben!

Thanks/Dank je wel
I will wait with ordering then

Hi,
I couldn't wait and already got this screen/device protection and applied it.
It works verry wel and is, in my opinion, better/clearer than the original screen protector. It feels thicker dan the original one but the touch screen works as well as before. I also applied the protection on the rest of the device. That works OK as well. But the disadvantage of protection is that it is flexibel in the way that you can stretch the 'plastic'. So be very carefull when applying it. The protection for arround the screen was the only one not working for me. Mine wasn't cut out OK and I streched it to much. :-( So I threw it away.

is it possible for you to post some picture of it? how does it feel? does it make your device feel like a huge plastic?

I will make some pictures tonight( need a second camera for that).
It feels a bit plastic, but I don't mind. The Ameo is in it's case most of the time. If you touch the screen with your stylus then it feels a bit sticky, but you can drag arround the screen with your stylus with no problem. It is however difficult to apply the protection withou any bubble, but maybe I'm just a bit clumsy with that.

As promissed, the pictures.

I've got it also as of todayand I'm also positive avout this invisible shield protector. Indeed be carefull with getting of the plastic from the paper. Also use a lot of water (delivered with the package) because then you can position the shield the best. An other tip: use a tissue to get rid of the water between the shield and the screen.
Works perfect.
+ very easy to install
+ good protection for all sites of the device
+ very clear en bright
- easy to cut the thinner parts in 2
- he plasic is reel soft like a kind of thin rubber, so if you drag over the screen using your stylus feels like you stuck in the plasic a bit. Maybe this will get a bit better after a couple of day's.
Conclusion: 8+ (out of 10) so buy it!

Thanks for the heads-up - I've ordered mine now.
(And I can second the recommendation - I've tried a few different screen protectors before, and the Martin Fields one I used on my Universal was by far the best.)

Maybe Brando UltraClear would be the best solution???

Sounds good to me - have just ordered some Martin Fields protectors! Just can't wait for my Ameo now!

I bought a pack of Writeright things YEARS ago, and have been using the same pack ever since. However due to the size of the Ameo screen they come nowhere near filling it.
A shame, they are amazing.
The stock one that came with it is a bit sticky for my liking, and a tiny bit too narrow. I have over a 1mm gap at the right because I lined up at the left edge exactly.
Im not so good at fitting them, so a couple of bubbles. Has anyone lifted and replaced the stock protector? recommended methods? The old fingernail under the corner always ruins them.

Some people suggest a bit of sticky tape to lift the corner.

I disagree. I have just fitted the Martin Field screen protector to my Ameo abd it didn't work well. I have had to take it off and now I have no screen protector temporarily.

Martin Fields - Cases & Screen Protectors

http://www.martinfields.com/US/model.asp?model=SE_XperiaX1&modeln=Xperia X1&prod_type=mobile
I want to order a screen protector and I was thinking about a leather slip case. Anyone have any experience with their cases?

What I read and heard
From what I have read and heard is that the MartinField screenprotectors are one of the best out there. No hands on experience though.

I have used these on all my recent phones, they are very good but expensive £15 delivered

did u guys also removed the default screen protector ? i felt it was reducing the touch response of the screen..and very thick also.

well, the stock protector lasted me one day of use... putting the x1 on my pocket a few times peeled the sony protector so it's useless...
anyways, martin one should be here tomorrow (so says the track id)

Hi,
The "stock" screen protector lasted me a week. But you do need to cut/trim the tab off so that pocketing the phone and other general usage doesn't peel the protector off.
Have now fitted a Martin Field one.
Be warned though the sticky side of those protectors attract dust/lint/etc like a magnet!!! Also, that lint free cloth you think is lint free, isn't!!!
Have fitted 3 of these over the years and have never failed to get some lint etc between the screen and protector...
But they do do the job and protect your screen. Better £15 for one than £!!!! for a new LCD...
Des. . .

I've got a Martin Fields screen protector and I love it.
<rant>
I wasted £5 on a protector from eximstyle on ebay first.
It was too long by a couple of mm and just too wide so that it would press down on the screen when it was squeezed in; the quality wasn't great either, it didn't slide like the MF did. (They sent a replacement which was exactly the same )
Sometimes you really do get what you pay for! Got to love Paypal, it went a claim and they judged that if I sent it back with tracking I could have a refund (the postage would cost more than the refund).
I know where I'll be getting my screen protectors from in future, and it's not from jokers on ebay!
</rant>

Sony Ericsson Xperia leather case
Leather cases on MartinFields are the same I bought from PDA Hut.
http://www.pdahut.com/store/home.php?cat=2387

Just fitted one, perfect fit. Got a damn tiny piece of lint between it and the screen !! No biggies.
So far, so good
The stylus slides real smoothly

Anyone using a diamond without a screen protector

Hi I was just wondering how many people are using their diamond with out a screen protector. I have been using the invisi shield but it's starting to peel and look pretty messy. I don't really want to have to carry it round in the htc pouch they give you.
So how many folks just stick it in their pocket and have they found the screen scratches easily?
Cheers

I'm currently using a special TPU case from CAPDASE, unlike all the other silicone cases on the market, I'd say this has to be the best quality non-leather case out there. It comes in two colors, black or silver/white. In real life it looks a lot better than in pictures. I'm also using their mat finish screen protector.
The picture is from Google.

Me
No screen protector and no worries

my original screen protector wore off and i'm going to get a new set ASAP. it's not very wise to be using the phone without one IMHO

sorry, double post

I'm not using any screen protector either (have had it for 7 months now) and so far no problems. There are a few very little scratches here and there but they are not noticeable and it doesn't bother me.
edit: just cleaned well the screen to double check and there is only one small scratch near the camera on the top right corner, but it's only visible under a certain angle and with the light reflecting on the screen. So, the Diamond's screen is ****ing resistant!

I'm using one from MArtin Field. They are highly recommended as I have purchased many of their protectors and they are very very high quality

i dont use protector and my screen is full of hairline scratches and it also has 3 reallly deep scratches
i dont care

That's not the one I got, I'm just using the regular mat one, it's not a privacy screen protector. I can't find the exact shopping link, but the package looks like this, except the one in the link isn't mat. This screen guard comes in two types, clear or mat finish.
http://www.yesasia.com/us/capdase-p...amond-pda-phone/1011133846-0-0-0-en/info.html
EDIT: The mat one has the word "Excellent" instead of "Crystal Clear" on the package, it comes with a tiny cloth too, see attachment pictures.

It's not just scratches to consider, I have had mine for a week and I just put a screen protector on when it arrived in the mail and it doesn't attract nearly as many fingerprints and smudges, I was wiping the screen constantly before I put it on but I just sent several messages with my fingers and there's hardly a print on the protector.

i used to have a screen protector on it (the one supplied) but the corner started peeling off then i got annoyed with it... so there is now no protector on it. its been like it for about 6 months. its been kept in my pocket (with nothing else) and has only collected a couple of small scratches, which would probably come out with acrylic polish.

I didn't use a screen protector and regretted it as I picked up a fine collection of scratches. This reduces the resale value of the phone and alos on a screen with such a high dpi scrthes make a big difference.
However The screen also cracked seperatley, so it's off for an insurance job, after which it will be behind a screen protector/slip case.

I used the origonal one for 6 months and it was ok till the end. Replaced it with a cheap one from Ebay and after a few weeks it has bad scratches on it.
Next time i am going to replace it with an expencive one.

At first when I bought my diamond I used the invisible shield. Took the screen part of the shield off immediately because it felt to rubbery. I have been with no screen protector since and I have some hairline scratches, but they really don't bother me. When the screen is turned on they are unnoticeable. The truth is by the time the scratches start bothering me it's a great excuse to buy a new phone anyways( even though I really love my Diamond).

Nice one cheers people. Think i'll probably replace my invisi shield it does work really well it's just a shame it's peeled at the edges. It just makes the phone look messy.
Shame they didn't make it with a really durable scratch proof screen.
Cheers

I can't do that to my phone , i have sweaty palms most of the time

Sorry, posted the wrong url.

Naw, I've been sporting the geek look and using the supplied holster, but since I work in an office, everyone has a holstered device of some kind.
No scratch!!!!

This is what i got..... 10 screen protectors for $10 from ebay

They work pretty well actually..... as good as the one that came with the phone~!

[Q] Anyone used Martin Fields screen protector?

I heard many good things about them but I'm bit hesitant to order because of the $16.99 shipping cost.
So about $33 with front LCD and camera lens protector.
I will get my Nexus S this weekend so I ordered the TPU case from eBay but I still haven't gotten the screen protector yet.
Any previous experiences or recommendations?

I've used Martin Fields screen protectors on almost all of my gadgets in the last few years. I've yet to grab one for the Nexus but it's on my list of things to do.
They are washable if you have a lot of patience and are willing to use tape to remove all the dust and debris that might gather while it dries. Same goes for the installation - be very patient and very careful. The results are more than worth it though. Never had a scratch on my screens and you can't even tell that it's there.

Martin Fields
I ordered one so we shall see :]

Bit late but thought I'd pipe in - I love Martin Fields and think they are the best.
They even include protectors for things like the flash on your camera (not sure if they do for this specific model).
Brillliant quality and clarity.
Only wish it was anti-finger print.

I got one today for the Nexus S, terrible fit, it is a good 3mm too short and about 1mm too narrow.
some pics here: imgur.com/a/xSe6D

Yea that is pretty bad. I got a free screen protector with my case that's similar to martin fields (a lot crappier obviously) but it fits better but peels up at the edges due to the rounded glass of the phone... so I guess that's why martin fields decided to not make it go out to the edges.
Guess the best solution is to get a wet-type screen protector a la ghost armor/zagg =\

I think your hypothesis of Martin Fields avoiding the curved edges of the glass has merit. Their screen protectors are very rigid and don't like to bend or curve around anything. I'm guessing that if they made it longer it wouldn't adhere properly. I suppose that is the compromise for such a scratch resistant surface.

Well I emailed them and they said it was because of the nexus s curved screen, I personally can't see why it would needed to fall so short of the edges.

So t doesn't peel up like the rest of the "hard" screen protectors. I've been through a few and they all suffer from the same problem at the edges.

Even though the peel look is there, dust doesn't get inside (using without a case). That's my experience with it anyways. Although it does get a bit annoying sometimes whenever I see it, but I try to put it under the case.

What screen protectors do you recommend?

Hi, I've bought recently this phone and wanted a sturdy screen, preferably a glass tempered one but I've got no idea what brands to go for or if those that you can buy cheap on ebay are enough. I'm a bit clumsy so the possiblity of it slipping out of my hand by accident and falling on its screen is there. If anyone can give some input based on experiences, that'd be great.

Cheap plastic ones from amazon always seem to work fine on all my devices.. When they get scratched I have no issues throwing on a new one.
They are cheap but keep the screen flawless

hi, i am using nillkin H+, i bought it from amazon
Things i liked in this Nillkin :
1) my friends tempered glasses catches scratches, fades after long time use (4 months) and makes screen unusable in rain, but as nillkin is having real nano coating it helps me to operate my phone even in rain with out much problem
2) i bought a tempered glass before worth 270inr from ebay it was good to look, but when i was about to remove it as its not having Nano coating on it, then i observed that it cracked and formed small powder fragments on edges when i tried to remove it with hard plastic :silly:
later i installed nillkin, had to remove this also as i didnt manage to fit it perfectly on my screen.. i used the same hard plastic, this time Nillkin tempered didnt break nor atleast formed any tiny fragments, i lifted it and set again with out any problem
these are my observing on my tempered glass

I bought a tempered glass one for around $3 on eBay, haven't gotten it yet. I don't know if the more expensive ones are better, but better can mean 2 things. Either that it's stronger, so won't break easily; or that it protects the phone better. I doubt one will protect the phone more than the other.

I do the same thing. No problems yet.

I bought a nillkin H+ but removed it after a while because the phone screen is much less oleophobic. With the screen protector on, the fingerprints were extremely annoying, at least on my sample.

So can anyone recommend a really good high quality glass screen protector without flaws? If there is none then i'll order motorola official flip shell...

The $3 ones on eBay don't have flaws. I have one and I know other people who have them, no one has any problems with them. Just first learn how to put it on so you don't break it.

Undersized
I bought a tempered glass one from an online (no brand). It's undersized, about 1.5mm all around. Probably useful to allow a case to grip the front edge, but the description didn't say so. I feel cheated, but for the price it'll do.
My previous tempered glass ones (branded) were excellent protection, and felt better on my finger than the plastic ones.
[edit] I forgot to say, the shape is one with cut-out north of the top speaker, rather than the others I've seen with speaker hole.

Moto G Premium Quality Screen Protector is Anti Glare Matte edition in my recommendation.
it Protects your device from scratches & dust. Easy to Apply , Fits perfectly and requires no cutting. Comes with a cleaning cloth and application card. Easily removable with no sticky residue or marks

Tempered glass screen protector from amazon
I've been using a SPARIN tempered glass screen protector since I got my moto g in August. (It's about $8 on amazon; unfortunately I can't post a link, but it should be easy to find)
I've managed to crack it in at least 8 places (my phone falls a lot), but it hasn't picked up any scratches yet, and it's protected the actual glass underneath. If you're even a little proficient at holding things, it should be fine.

Snakehive protector
I've only had it a few days, but I bought a Snakehive tempered glass protector for my new G3, from their Amazon store. Very pleased so far. It has cutouts for the mouthpiece at the bottom and for the earpiece, light sensor and camera at the top, although at the top it doesn't surround them for some reason, but that's only a couple of milimetres uncovered. It was a breeze to put on when compared to film protectors. I laid it over the mouthpiece and it simply eased itself into place over the rest of the screen. Seems a bargain at the current £3.95.
I'm wanting to get the flip down case from Snakehive too, assuming they get more stock in.

First day of smartphone, yes good idea to have a screen protection. But now with gorilla glass, useless.
It's my point of view.

I used and have a Mr shield or something like that from Amazon super easy too install i've had no bubbles when placing it on the phone also bought a case where there was enough space that should it fall on the screen side it's not touching the floor I've dropped my phone about 5 times over the course of a year. Took off the case and replaced the screen protector and it still looks like brand new minus where I've blindly inserted the USB cord.

10 days to 1 year since i purchased the device . never used any screen protector and been 8 month since i didnt use any case either.

my phone has some minor scuffs and little bend on bottom right corner but thats coz the phone fell from above 5 feet . must say the build quality is very solid

Honestly, you just don't need them these days. Had my G3 6 months, not a single scratch and I am hardly careful with it, gets thrown in pocket with keys and lose change, and dropped often because I am clumsy. Plenty of dents along the bezel but screen as good as new.
